What have you done to your ride lately?

[tx_shooter]

So it is 90% done. I have a few bolts I want to replace due to bolt age and need to finish the fog light wires. But the big parts are done.

The frame and upper link mount are good to go now. My new Tom Woods shaft showed up, so that'll go in on Tuesday. After that I'm good to go, except for the ORI lower eyes being bent. If they're not cracked I'll run them for a bit longer, but I do have coilovers and air bumps on order.

Picked up a couple OEM CVs from a 2011 FJ at Jambo for $100. They have 60k on them and nothing wrong with them other than one had a torn boot and the other the bands were fubar'd and it leaked all the grease out. I don't need two so @tex is buying one from me. Got the first one cleaned up last night. It was so much easier and less messy since I have access to a spray wash cabinet now. Cut the boots and clamps off and an hour in the spray wash and it's way cleaner than I could have ever gotten it myself. Going to knock out the second tonight and then they'll be ready for boots.

Won’t getting the shaft from a lowly Hino make you’re Lexu$ feel dirty?

No dirtier than where he normally gets shafts.

$20 is $20

That’s true, at lest he got it from some random guy at Jambo instead.

@Mitt78 last time I was at Jambo he offered services to two guys if they would hand over their clean red Tacoma Truck. It was a nice rig and all; but...

So does that mean the new saying is "a rig is a rig"

I still want that truck. I thought there was only one of them when I made the offer though.

Umm.. what offer did you make? Sounding pretty gay about now. No one is judging... bullshit we are judging. Pics of red truck(s).?

It was definitely gay.

I imagine it went something like this

Bumper arrived

 

[Silverback]

Is it on yet?

 

[CowboyTaco]

Is everything correct?

 

[balakay]

Added new shiny bits (UCA's). Need to now clean the rest to match. Figured after 10 years it was time for new ones. I know they can be rebuilt.

Anyway you can get a measurement from the top of one of those uniball spacers to the bottom of the other one? Basically the height of the uniball with the misalignment spacers installed in it.

 

[Silverback]

I just gave it a shot with a pair of calipers, could not get an accurate reading. Ping @tx_shooter, he knows where the old ones went. Probably get you a measurement.

Nevermind. I was looking for something but I forgot they have the tapered leave on the bottom. Was thinking it was another misalignment spacer like on the top. Thanks for trying though.

Installed these rear sway bar links from Dobinson. Also did an oil change and used the trap door on the skid for the first time. Much easier than I thought going that route.
